I just wanted to add that I owned the ... ahem ... very unfortunately named mine adventure. Just a couple of things. First, it was from later in the Judges Guild history, coming out in the early 80s. Second, it wasn't a bad adventure. You had rival adventuring parties exploring a dwarven mine...

It sounds like the final rules were changed so what I can tell you would be wrong. I will be picking up the PDF when it launches and I'll circle back to this and answer it once the game finally launches. The issue was that you looked up how many actual hits you took based on how much damage...

The book was the first city supplement published for D&D back in the 70s. It had this huge campaign map, and a second map that was blank and you could fill in over time as you explored it. It had several locations mapped out as mini-dungeons, but the whole city was laid out in rooms. It had...

I'm getting that feeling from some people as well, and like you say, I can't explain why. The best I can tell you is that our group of 5E players really bounced off of it hard. If you're coming from a traditional playstyle, it may be a bridge too far for some players. For our group it was the...

It's good to see this coming to about the best resolution that could be hoped for here. As an original backer from 2014, I have written off what I spent here long ago, but it will be nice to end up with some refund at the end of it all.

Just looking at the upcoming release and saw the PDF will be $30. Yes, I'll be picking it up right away. I'm also excited.

The single biggest thing I do with skills is to (largely) let players pick a skill for a situation. As long as I can justify it in some way, I just let it go. Unless you're lifting something heavy, I will let you roll Acrobatics for things you'd normally need Athletics for. I think the skill...

Looking at the Backerkit page, looks like they will include the Wraith Overlord supplement for the books, which is good. I ran that adventure several times. Now I'd give this about a 50-50 chance of actually happening, so it will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

This exactly! It's a longer term resource that you track and gradually expend throughout the adventuing day. It's also something the DM can use to show how a situation drains the party's ability to keep going. The idea in 4E was pretty much that you'd always go into combat at full HP, but you'd...

A lot of this depends on the level you start at and how often you're going to level up. If you think about it, the "how soon does your build come online?" is compatible with early editions of the game. As someone who played OE/1E/BECMI wizards, they didn't come on line in many ways until later...

It's unofficial, but I recently played Scum and Villany, the Forged in the Dark "Star Wars with the serial numbers filed off" game. Had a blast! Essentially this is a Han Solo smuggling game where each session is a score. We had a group where I was the only one familiar with the system...

I think this is such as important point for people like me to listen to. I am very much the kind of GM who will ask questions like you hate while running a game. And I've run enough games so I have encountered many players like you who don't like this. And as a GM and a designer you need to take...

I was one of those people. I 100% love this project and don't want to derail discussion of this new project, but depending on how the rights were acquired, there are some people who would likely want a refund from the other project. Which, to be clear, has nothing to do with Goodman games...

Wow! I remember having the original back in the day and using it like crazy. Now do Wraith Overlord next! Let me just add that I would pay a lot of money to have this map done for my VTT. And I'm sure it would have to be a lot because that would be extremely difficult to do. But something that...

As we're getting closer and closer to the final release (and as I write this, it really is released to some customers) I really do wonder what genres of games Daggerheart will be best at. From playing the beta it has a strong focus on action adventure scenes, and there's a definite attempt to...

Good question! I think this would begin a slow death spiral for the game in a larger context. Of course, it wouldn't affect anyone's games, but it would have a tremendous effect on new people entering the hobby. Like it or not, D&D is synonymous with "RPGs" to the larger audience. Just like...

It's been my experience that this is the core issue behind most of our heated discussions, on EnWorld and really in general. Unless you can define terms you're arguing past each other. People can realistically disagree and everyone involved can be correct, depending on how terms are defined. And...

I think this is part of the knowledge that was lost after 4th edition. In 3X, there were big differences in saves, but you could at least mitigate them somewhat. 4E addressed this problem with weaker saves, where you would have differences, and yet they would be tighter. 5E ... if you don't get...

I think this is the key. I bought the 5.5E PHB for my VTT, but haven't gotten the other two books because my group and I just aren't feeling it. And I really see the desire to complain and attempt to get WotC to change. I want things to be different. But then I realize that would be pointless...

I had the same debate. I backed MCDM and passed on Daggerheart. My group did a playtest game of Daggerheart and found it wasn't for us. I can't wait to do the same with this one. I think it was a tough call as to who to back, but I will likely end up with both in PDF.
